The amazing Halloween Project kit Bag of bones is also going up for sale - you can find it here!

This first layout is about Tuva's first word. Perhaps it wasn't really a word, but more of a sound... because she started to copying the cats, saying meow every time she saw them. So very cute.

I used the Switchback add on and the Embellishment pack together with the main kit and the Hidden Lakes patterned paper add on.

My second layout is about hos Linus and Alva made up this game where they were always guessing which one of the two elevators would arrive first, when visiting me at the hospital when I was expecing Tuva. :)

The colour theory continues on the Tattered Angels Inspiration blog! I used complementary colours for my first September layout and here I created another one with a green background, but with a triadic colour scheme and the accent colours orange and purple.

I found some time to draw a little today too... One of the fab things about drawing is that you don't need many supplies. Right now I just feel like drawing, drawing, drawing... :) I would love to reach a point where I'm confident enought not to get scared... scared of ruining what I've done, knowing that I can just start a new drawing if I'm not happy...

I've been painting for the first time in such a long time...! I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm totally loving the process. :) It's so relaxing and I don't care if it sounds silly - painting really makes me happy.

I have so many canvases and paintings lying around - piles and piles of them - that I have started but never finished. This past weekend I took two of them and just played, instead of starting another one from scratch.

I love the layers and the texture on the background of this one... I will try to take a proper photo of the whole canvas later on.

This second one has transformed almost completely several times. I don't know if these are finished. I never seem to finish my paintings, but just go on and on... =) And yes, I am totally aware of the uneven eyes etc... I just decided that I don't care this time.

My new life is making me tired... I've been busy working and sleeping, working and sleeping... and blogging has been pushed down the list of priorities. It feels a bit sad, but hopefully it's just a temporary thing. I'll get used to the new routines and I'll probably work less hours from January too.

I was sketching a little while Alva was playing tennis this morning... trying to make the most of the time available... :)

The September theme on the Tattered Angels Inspiration blog is colour mixing and colour theory. I created a simple layout using the complimentary colours green and red.

The background was misted with Glimmer Mist Blarney. I used Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Sprout for the canvas fringe from Canvas Corp and Blarney for the rose ribbon. The thickers were painted with Glimmer Glaze and I splattered some Glam over the background. I also used Glam to paint the flowers.

It's been a bit quiet here on the blog... Going back to work last Wednesday has been a huge change. It doesn't matter that I had plenty of time to mentally prepare. It's still so many new routines and so many adjustments to be made. I'll get the hang of it, I just need some time. :)

Here are another couple of projects that I made for Tattered Angels in August, using texture paste. For both the layout and the canvas I used one of the Tattered Angel screens together with texture paste to create my background.

When creating the layout I then covered my page with gesso and misted on top of the dry gesso using Simply Sheer Light Blue and Pink, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist London Fog, and Glimmer Mists Silver Sugar and Graphite. I also splattered some Glimmer Glaze Pewter over the background and painted the chipboard numbers with Glimmer Glam Smooches.

This layout is about me right now, and how I wish I was better at focusing at the positive side of things. Actually, "right now" was more like 3-4 weeks ago and I do feel a bit more positive at the moment. I guess I'd better do my best to hang on to that feeling... :)

I used the same screen when creating this 6x6 canvas. I used a Chunky Burlap Canvas from Canvas Corp and coloured the background with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Valencia and Glimmer Mist Sun Sisters.

The star was misted with Key Lime Pie and the wooden cameras were painted with Glimmer Glam Organic Garden.
